Incubations

Incubations turn an early idea into a product direction that is concrete enough for a first implementation attempt. They preserve conclusions that a member has confirmed, not raw discussion, progress logs, or every research result.

Each incubation lives at incubations/<slug>/index.md. Its overview is the current truth: the proposition, strongest case for and against it, focus, assumptions, evidence state, stage, and next decision. Use a stable, concise, ASCII lowercase kebab-case slug.

Additional content grows only when needed:

• research/ contains substantial, reusable synthesis organized around a decision question.
• decisions.md is a chronological decision log created after the first material decision.
• build-brief.md defines the first implementation after the incubation reaches ready-to-try.

Do not create empty directories or placeholder pages. Keep raw discussion and progress updates outside Loom, distinguish evidence from interpretation, and record material conclusions only after a member confirms them.
